LIVERPOOL MANAGER BRENDAN RODGERS hopes that Craig Bellamy stays at Liverpool next season.
The Welsh striker, who joined the Reds for a second time from Manchester City last summer, has been linked with both Queens Park Rangers and former club Cardiff City.
However, Rodgers spoke to the 32-year-old last week and says that only a ‘unique opportunity’ would lure Bellamy away from Anfield.
“I had a really positive chat with Craig on Monday,” Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
“It was good to meet him and get his side of the Liverpool story. He’s a big supporter of this club – he loves the club.

“He’s a good guy. He has a real passion for Liverpool Football Club and that’s the type of people I want here. I like his intensity, his work-rate and his passion so I would love him to be here.
“He’s a player. It would take a really special and unique opportunity for Craig to walk out of Liverpool and for us to go our separate ways.
“If anything changes on that from a personal perspective then him and I will talk about that.”
